remember saying rain, rain, go away? it didn't all the way. the rain is back. how long the unsettled weather will last. good afternoon. i'm reed cowan.

let's start with the first aler weather. we saw the skies there rain, lightning, it's not over yet. meteorologist darren peck is tracking it for us. >> remember in march, read -- >> oh, i remember. >> all the weird systems came and they parked off the coast? we are doing the same thing right now. a beautifully formed cut off low off the coast of california. you cae the circulation in the radar. what weth are parkula anheat where the rain is coming down now, take the drive up 101 and when you get to the san bern mountains. we are seeing more from across the santa clara valley and that wil work up through the rest of the bay. the best way to get a handle of what happens next is to watch the futurecast. we see the pattern holds like this. se

the circulation, on again, off again showers. we are not done with this until we finish tomorrow. we will probably see more widespread rain the first part of wednesday. we will look at that in more detail and i will show you what happens when it leaves coming up in the complete forecast. the attorney for the man accused of killing cash app founder bob lee addressed the drugs found in his system. anne makovec is talking about whethe it can play a role in the case. >> it will. nina momeni her client appeared in court. his arraignment was continued for a third time. here he is inside o the courtroom. it was a quick appearance with the judge ina hiattorn ll ead noldg f t thcase. prosecutors meni stabbed lee to death on april 4th after a dispute over momeni's sister. court document

indicated momeni was concerned she was doing drugs with lee. w got the medical examiner's report which showed lee died from his stab wounds. it showed he had alcohol, cocaine and ketamine in his system. momeni' lawyer says it will play a role in the case. >> bob lee's system is like the walgreens of recreational drugs >> san francisco district attorney brooke jenkins said that she is used to defense attorneys attacking the victim and that the toxicology results won't change the charges. >> regardless of whether somebody has or has not done drugs, that does not give someone a license to kill them. we are going to continue course with the facts that we know because we believe that regardless of whatever that toxicology report may show, tha mr. momeni is guilty of murder. >> in the united states you hav the right to a speedy trial. th d.a. says that men's momeni can delay the arraignment as long m

live, defense attorney and former prosorbrass. you heard the two perspectives. you have momeni's attorney talking about bob lee having a lot of drugs in his system, showing their hand there. then brooke jenkins saying what he has in his system does not in a begin the fact that he is dead and was murdered. how does this get handled. >> from a prosecution standpoin you do not want the plot to thicken. and it is thickening. and it gives context to the defense. brook jenkins is correct. defense attorneys ofte will blame the victim. but that's too broad a brush. what defense attorney does is you want to make things more complicated. we want to add mor complexity to the case. we want to ask questions to raise a reasonable doubt to have a jury sa y,what know about bob lee. it makes the victim in the case less

relatable that he has ingested all the drugs. did he have a drug problem, one time? how often did he ingest drugs. what does that mean in terms of the conflict with mr. momeni and what type of person was he. so far the narrative from the prosecutor is that he is a successful hard working so of infidelity with mr. momeni's sister but all we know is sun. inge by mr. lee. that does add a layer of complication. from a prosecution point of vie -- >> go ahead. why does this make a difference. forgive me, i cut you off. >> not at all. why does it make a difference? why does bob lee partying and ingesting drugs ad any level of complication? the truth is it doesn't mean a person deserves to be murdered and that person is somehow less of a victim because they have a

drug problem or a partying habit. in the end, prosecutors are trying to keep the distractions to a minimum. it's not the preferred scenario to have this medical examiner's report. from d.a. perspective, not what they were hoping for but can be overcome. from a defense perspective where it looks like you have motive, opportunity and a murder weapon and now another angle on the story, something that makes the story not quite so simple, it's in those details that a reasonable doubt can sometimes exist. that's what a defense attorney will look for. >> that's what they will go for for sure knowing that a jury wiar thank you so much. we will have continuing coverage on air on cbs news bay area and all the time on kpix.cher stories we are

following from around the bay, prosecutors declined to file murder charges against the private security guard who police say shot and killed a shoplifter at a walgreens last week. d.a. brooke jenkins said there is evidence that the security guard acted in self-defense. last night community activists gathered in front of the walgreens store to remember banko brown, the man that was shot and died in the violence. nordstrom says they will close the store at west field mall in san francisco. another blow to the area. it has been there since 1988. they confirm that they will not renew the lease this year. they plan to shut this summer. not the only part of bad news. the nordstrom rack across the street, that is also going to shut. this is the latest in the string of retail closures affecting the downtown area. west field sent us a statement that they are frustrated. the downtown area i deteriorating. we urged the cit
